The following GH ranges are recommended:

Tanganyika: 3–5.5 meq/L (8–14 dGH)

Malawi: 1.5–3meq/L (4–8 dGH)

Victoria: 1–2 meq/L (3–6 GH)

For best results use with Fritz Rift Lake Cichlid Buffer to adjust pH and carbonate hardness.

Dosages are per 10 U.S. gallons (37.85 liters): Tanganyika: Use 11 g (1.5 tsp); Malawi: Use 5.5 g (3/4 tsp); Victoria: Use 3.6 g (1/2 tsp). Use when adding new water to aquariums following the dosage for the lake you are wanting to simulate.

For best results, use RODI water. If using dechlorinated tap water, measure GH with a suitable test kit, and adjust dose to accommodate current hardness level

For best results, add Rift Lake Cichlid Salt to RODI water in a separate container before adding water to aquarium.
